Mutual Transfer Portal: Big news for Assam Government Employees!

The Assam government has some exciting news for its employees as the New Year begins. On January 1st, a new portal aimed at making mutual transfers easier for government employees will be launched. This new initiative is expected to bring significant relief and opportunities for millions of workers in the state. Let’s dive deeper into the details of this groundbreaking announcement.

Launch of the Mutual Transfer Portal

Starting from January 1st, government employees in Assam will have access to a dedicated mutual transfer portal. This portal will provide a streamlined and efficient way for employees to request transfers within their departments. Whether you’re looking to move closer to home, change your work environment, or switch to a new role within the same department, this new system promises to make the process more transparent and easier to navigate.

Eligibility Criteria for Mutual Transfers

Not everyone can apply for transfers through the new portal, so it’s important to understand the eligibility requirements. The following criteria must be met:

• Same Department and Category: Employees must be from the same department and belong to the same category and reservation category.
• Clearance Report: Employees involved in any ongoing departmental or criminal investigations will not be eligible for a transfer.
• No Objection Certificate (NOC): Employees must provide a No Objection Certificate (NOC) and a license certificate when applying.
• Compliance with OM Terms: All employees applying through the portal must agree to comply with the Official Memorandum (OM) Terms and Conditions related to transfers.
• Pay Protection: Pay protection will be provided; however, there will be no linkage to inter-se seniority.
• Seniority Terms: Employees will not have any claim to seniority. They will be placed at the bottom of the seniority list for the same recruitment year or the consecutive year, as applicable.

These rules aim to ensure that the mutual transfer process is fair and that employees are in good standing before applying.

The Mutual Match Condition

To ensure a smooth and fair transfer process, there are specific conditions governing the mutual match of applicants. For a successful transfer request, both employees must meet the following conditions:

• Must complete at least 1 year of service.
• Same Grade Pay: The two employees involved in the mutual transfer must have the same grade pay.
• Same Service Statute: Both employees must fall under the same service statute.
• Matching Nature and Qualifications of Posts: The posts involved in the mutual transfer must have the same nature and qualifications. This ensures that the transferred employees are equally qualified for the new rules.

These conditions are set in place to maintain the balance and ensure that both employees are equally suited for the transfer, thus avoiding any confusion or mismatch.
